What's 3D printing? What's the material it support, the software it used & format it applied to?

3D printing, a kind of rapid prototyping technology, which uses powder metal or plastic and other adhesive materials on the basis of digital model files, fabricates objects through layer-by-layer printing. Dobot Magician is compatible with mainstream open-source 3D printing software: Repetier Host, you can download the latest version from official website: https://www.repetier.com/
Users can build one’s own 3D model and transfer it into STL file, also, one can search free models to import them directly.

What are the highlights of Dobot Magician 3D printing?

Dobot Magician is an extensible desk-top 3D printing. Not only it can reserve the integrity of function, but also develop more other applications, such as laser engraving, drawing & writing besides the basic demand of 3D printing. Because of its extensible 3D printing without restrictions of structure, it can also do double color.
